NPF Reservoir Characterization Conference

2025/10/28

Linda Bonnell and I will be attending the NPF Biennial Reservoir Characterization Conference in Stavanger, Norway on December 3-4, 2025. The conference lineup looks great and I hope that we will see you there. Below is the abstract summary for the talk I’ll be giving, which is co-authored by Linda and Jim Guilkey. ________________________________ Making…

3rd International School on Diagenesis

2020/02/10

The Applied Sedimentology Group at the GeoZentrum NordBayern (FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg) and Geocosm LLC. announce the 3rd School on the Diagenesis of Silicilastic Sediments on September 7-11, 2020. The school will be held at the Geozentrum Nordbayern in Erlangen, Germany and will focus on the controls on sandstone diagenesis and their implications for data interpretation and modeling.…

1st DGMK/KIT Reservoir Days

2019/09/10

Geocosm’s Linda Bonnell and Rob Lander were among the keynote speakers for the 1st DGMK / KIT Joint Workshop RESERVOIR DAYS — Clastic Reservoir Quality, on September 2-4, 2019 in Liensweiler, Germany. OVERVIEW Reservoir quality of clastic sedimentary rocks is a function of many factors such as thermal exposure, time, tectonics, stress, detrital and authigenic…

EAGE Presentation

2018/06/11

Rob Lander and Linda Bonnell from Geocosm gave an invited presentation at the EAGE in Copenhagen regarding the state-of-the-art in reservoir quality prediction methods on June 11, 2018. Summary: Sandstone reservoir quality prediction has moved from a reliance on simple empirical trends (e.g., porosity vs. depth) to include process-oriented forward models. Process-oriented models are more…

Clastic Reservoir Quality Prediction Models: Past, Present, and Future

2017/04/04

In this invited talk at the Annual AAPG Meeting, Geocosm’s Rob Lander and Linda Bonnell review the history and current state-of-the-art in reservoir quality prediction models while also discussing potential future developments. Over the past 20 years reservoir quality assessment has expanded from a focus on description to encompass process-oriented models. These models predict rock…
